Jari Suhonen at Brainerd (1990)

Finnish racer Jari Suhonen wheelies his factory-backed Yamaha in the U.S. round of the World Superbike Championship in June of 1990. Suhonen scored a 12th and 8th in Brainerd that year. He finished 10th in the final 1990 World Superbike Championship standings. It marked the second time he finished ranked in the top ten in the world standings. Suhonen’s World Superbike career spanned five seasons, from 1988 to 1992. Jari’s leathers were made to looked like a pair of suspenders. Those must have been the bomb in Finland.
